Carbon Counts: AI Hype, Hazards, and Real-World Impact

David LaGreca and Dave Lindenmuth are back with Carbon Counts, an informational series exploring how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are redefining transparency in emissions accounting.

This episode will feature EcoEngineers’ Climate Risk Director Roxby Hartley, and he along with LaGreca and Lindenmuth will explore how artificial intelligence is shaping carbon accounting. The panel will address three key areas:

  • Accuracy of AI-generated regulatory interpretations and life-cycle assessments
  • Policy and regulatory challenges with the technology, including gaps and risks in compliance
  • Broader impacts of AI, such as increased energy and water consumption by data centers and implications for Scope 3 emissions and ESG reporting

The session will feature real-world examples, debate the ongoing need for human expertise, and discuss the social and environmental consequences of AI adoption in sustainability.

Carbon Counts: GHG Accounting with Molecule Group

Join David LaGreca and Dave Lindenmuth on an informational series discussing how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are shaping the nature of transparency in accounting for emissions.

In this episode they welcome Sam Lehr of Molecule Group as the team explores the organization’s new global industry principles for sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials. They will examine how these principles aim to harmonize carbon accounting, bridge voluntary and compliance markets, and drive international policy. The session will focus on the challenges and opportunities in standardizing market-based instruments, the role of registries and standards, and actionable steps for industry stakeholders. Ideal for anyone interested in the future of sustainable fuels, carbon accounting, and global market alignment.

Carbon Counts: RNG in Greenhouse Gas Accounting

In EcoEngineers’ next iteration of our Carbon Counts series, we are exploring the strategic role of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) in corporate decarbonization and greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory reporting. This session distills key insights from our new EcoUniversity workshop, RNG in Corporate Sustainability. It offers a practical overview of how RNG is being adopted across sectors—from logistics and utilities to tech and pharma. Whether you’re shaping sustainability strategy or navigating compliance frameworks, this session will equip you with actionable insights to position RNG as a credible, scalable solution in the energy transition.

Carbon Counts: A Video Podcast with EcoEngineers

Carbon accounting is the method and practice of tracking an organization’s greenhouse gas emissions throughout the supply chain process and life cycle of a product or service. Organizations, regulators, and governments are focused on the measurement and reduction of greenhouse gases often grouped into direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) categories, often with competing guidance and goals.

As renewable fuels, carbon removal technologies, and other climate innovations advance in the pursuit of carbon reductions, organizations of all size need to understand how new products and services will impact each entity’s carbon footprint. Join David LaGreca and Dave Lindenmuth on an informational series discussing how guidance from the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, state and local jurisdictions, and evolving consumer expectations are shaping the nature of transparency in accounting for emissions.

Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference 2024

EcoEngineers will attend this year’s Sustainable Apparel and Textiles Conference on April 23-24 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

More from the conference organizer:
“This two-day business conference will address how brands must align and adapt practices to respond to incoming legislation and growing stakeholder expectations. We’ll equip delegates with the best practice and guidance to develop net-zero strategies, transform supply chains, engage consumers, scale circularity, and drive positive social impacts.”

European Green Steel Summit 2024

EcoEngineers is attending the 2024 European Green Steel Summit hosted by ECV Green Steel in Dusseldorf, Germany.

More from the organizer on this event:
“The steel industry has long been a pillar of global economic growth, providing essential materials for construction, infrastructure, automotive, and various other sectors. However it is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Amid the growing concerns over climate change and increasing global commitments to combat emissions, the steel industry has recognized the urgency to transition towards a more sustainable and low-carbon future.

The 2nd European Green Steel Summit 2024 will bring together key stakeholders from the steel industry and the associated organizations and industries, and serve as a platform for knowledge exchange to explore a shared vision and roadmap for a low-carbon, resource-efficient, and economically viable steel industry. As the summit unfolds, it is expected to inspire a new era of innovation and collaboration, propelling the European steel industry towards a more sustainable and resilient future while setting an example for the global steel community.”
